Ride the Cosmic Wave: An Ode to Joy and Healing in the Face of Chaos
Have you ever found yourself amazed at the enormity of the universe, feeling like a speck floating in the emptiness of space? Guess what? That’s exactly what you are! In the words of spiritual maestro Michael Singer from ‘The Untethered Soul,’ “you’re sitting on a planet spinning around in the middle of absolutely nowhere… You’re floating in empty space in a universe that goes on forever… If you have to be here, at least be happy and enjoy the experience.”
Life’s unpredictable roller coaster ride has a habit of throwing surprises our way. Some will make you happy, while others will make you anxious. But, regardless of what life throws at us, here’s the million-dollar question: Are you ready to be delighted no matter what the Universe tosses at you?
Peel back the layers of existence, and you’ll discover that the basic goal of life is to enjoy and learn from our experiences. Earth is not a theatre for endless pain, nor is our existence a monument to doom. Nobody is getting any accolades for supporting misery because, let’s face it, being unhappy doesn’t make the world a better place.
When down to its most basic elements, the human experience is simple: we are born and, eventually, we die. But in between these big occurrences, we are given the gift of choice: to relish the trip or to wallow in unhappiness. Life’s curveballs do not determine your level of happiness. You and only you have control over your delight.
We are but transitory moments in the face of the vast Universe, but our ability for development, pleasure, and love is endless. Every tick of the clock represents a new chance to choose pleasure over sadness, love over apathy, and healing over endless pain. As Singer so eloquently puts it, “Love heals all.”
Let us cherish every moment of our cosmic voyage, make peace with our history, and fearlessly face the unknowns of the future. We’re not simply stardust floating about in space; we’re magnificently sophisticated beings capable of enormous love, progress, and unwavering delight.
So, here’s to us, cosmic travelers with beating hearts and dreaming brains. Let us not merely exist; let us actually live—wildly, passionately, and with an unquenchable need for delight. Because we have the greatest seats in the house for the magnificent, hypnotic ballet of the universe. Let’s enjoy the performance.
